Lenin: What are classes in general? Classes are that which permits one section of society to appropriate the labour of another section. If one section of society appropriates all the land, we have a landowner class and a peasant class. If one section of society owns the factories, shares and capital, while another section works in these factories, we have a capitalist class and a proletarian class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6214

Henry Kissinger: Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.
Fidel Castro: This position of the Trotskyists is the same which all newspapers and publicity agencies of Yankee imperialism adopted in relation to the cause of Comrade Ernesto Guevara. All the imperialist press of the United States, its news agencies, the Cuban counter-revolutionaries' press, the bourgeois press throughout the continent and the rest of the world - in other words, this campaign of slanders and intrigues against revolutionary Cuba in connection with the case of Comrade Guevara - coincided with precision with all imperialist bourgeois sectors, all the slanderers and all the conspirators against the Cuban revolution, for there is no doubt that only reaction and imperialism is interested in discrediting the Cuban revolution and in destroying the confidence of the revolutionary movements in the Cuban revolution, in destroying the confidence of the Latin American peoples in the Cuban revolution, in destroying their faith. Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.
Fidel Castro: Yon Sosa led the movement of a group of armed officers in the crushing of whom the mercenaries who later invaded Playa Girón participated. Through a businessman who took charge of the movement's political aspects, the Fourth International fixed it up so that that leader, who was ignorant of the profound problems of politics and of the history of revolutionary thought, would permit that agents of Trotskyism, about whom we do not have the slightest doubt that he is an agent of imperialism, to publish a newspaper which copies outright the program of the Fourth International. By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.
Martin Luther King, Jr.: So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness. It has brought about a system that takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.

Stalin: All that Marxism declares is that until classes have been completely abolished, and until work has been transformed from being a means of maintaining existence, into a prime necessity of life, into voluntary labour performed for the benefit of society, people will continue to be paid for their labour in accordance with the amount of labour performed.
Stalin: The October Revolution is neither the continuation nor the culmination of the Great French Revolution. The purpose of the French Revolution was to put an end to feudalism and establish capitalism. The aim of the October Revolution is to put an end to capitalism and to establish socialism.

Lenin: Deafened by liberal catch-phrases, people in our country are apt to overlook the actual class stand of the liberal party’s real bosses.
Lenin: The proletariat’s struggle against the bourgeoisie, which finds expression in a variety of forms ever richer in content, inevitably becomes a political struggle directed towards the conquest of political power by the proletariat (“the dictatorship of the proletariat”).
Citation modifiée extraite de "La Prisonnière" de Marcel Proust (publication posthume en 1923).
Il existe deux versions de cette citations. L'une avec "la vie n'aurait aucun sens" (à la manière d'Albert Camus, version 1954) et l'autre sans ces mots (éditions 1923 et 1946).
Extrait de "La Prisonnière" de Marcel Proust (version 1954):
Mais il n'est pas possible qu'une sculpture, une musique qui donne une émotion qu'on sent plus élevée, plus pure, plus vraie, ne corresponde pas à une certaine réalité spirituelle, ou la vie n'aurait aucun sens. Ainsi rien ne ressemblait plus qu'une belle phrase de Vinteuil à ce plaisir particulier que j'avais quelquefois éprouvé dans ma vie, par exemple devant les clochers de Martinville, certains arbres d'une route de Balbec ou plus simplement, au début de cet ouvrage, en buvant une certaine tasse de thé.
Extrait de "La Prisonnière" de Marcel Proust (version 1923):
Il n'est pas possible qu'une sculpture, une musique qui donne une émotion qu'on sent plus élevée, plus pure, plus vraie, ne corresponde pas à une certaine réalité spirituelle. Elle en symbolise sûrement une, pour donner cette impression de profondeur et de vérité. Ainsi rien ne ressemblait plus qu'une telle phrase de Vinteuil à ce plaisir particulier que j'avais quelquefois éprouvé dans ma vie, par exemple devant les clochers de Martainville, certains arbres d'une route de Balbec ou, plus simplement, au début de cet ouvrage, en buvant une certaine tasse de thé.
|Il n'est pas possible qu'une musique qui donne une émotion qu'on sent plus élevée, plus pure, plus vraie, ne corresponde pas à une certaine réalité spirituelle, ou la vie n'aurait aucun sens.|
Il ne peut s'agit d'une citation de Henri-Frédéric Amiel puisque cette phrase est présente dans l'ouvrage "Cours académique de langue et de littérature française" publié en 1834 alors que l'écrivain n'avait que 13 ans.
Il semble fort probable que cette expression soit de Christoph Johann Rudolph Christiani (1761-1841), pédagogue germano-danois et théologien luthérien. Dans son ouvrage "Beyträge zur Veredlung der Menschheit" Volume 2 (1799), il est écrit:
Unredlichkeit macht ihn zum Freund und Vertheidiger einer Sache, an der ihm an und für sich selbst durchaus nichts gelegen ist. So wie nun jeder scheinbare, aber falsche Freund immer gefährlicher ist, als ein erklärter und offenbarer Feind , so ist auch der Schade, welcher der Aufklärung von ihren unredlichen Freunden zugefügt wird, weit empfindlicher, als ter, den ihre abgesagtesten Gegner ihr zufügen. Bey einem bekannten Gegner weiß jeder bald, mit wem er es zu thun hat ; bey einem falschen Freunde wird man erst durch unangenehme Erfahrungen gewißiget. Der Erste erklärt sich geradezu gegen einen Gegenstand, der ihm hauptsächlich um deßwillen , weil er ihn nicht genau genug kennt, zuwider ist ; der Lekte bedient sich krummer Schleichwege , mittelst deren er jeden , dem es an einem geschärften Unterscheidungsblicke fehlt, auf eine leichte Art hintergeht. Der aufrichtigeFreund der Aufklärung, kann und will für nichts anders gehalten werden, als für den, der er ist ; der unredliche Gegner derselben sucht immer nur in derjenigen Kleidung zu erscheinen , welche ihm für die Rolle, die er den jedesmaligen Umständen nach zu spielen hat, die passendste zu seyn vorkommt.
Traduction en français:
La malhonnêteté fait de lui l'ami et le défenseur d'une cause à laquelle il ne tient absolument pas en soi. De même que tout ami apparent, mais faux, est toujours plus dangereux qu'un ennemi déclaré et manifeste, de même le dommage causé aux Lumières par ses amis malhonnêtes est bien plus sensible que celui que lui causent ses adversaires les plus acharnés. Avec un adversaire connu, chacun sait bientôt à qui il a affaire; avec un faux ami, on ne devient certain que par des expériences désagréables. Le premier se déclare carrément contre un objet qui lui répugne surtout parce qu'il ne le connaît pas assez bien; le second se sert de moyens détournés par lesquels il trompe facilement tous ceux qui manquent de discernement. L'ami sincère des Lumières ne peut et ne veut pas être pris pour autre chose que ce qu'il est; l'adversaire malhonnête de celles-ci cherche toujours à paraître sous l'habit qui lui semble le plus approprié au rôle qu'il doit jouer selon les circonstances.
On peut penser que Christoph Johann Rudolph Christiani s'est inspiré du Livre de Ben Sira le Sage (Bible) au chapitre 6:
01 et d'ami ne deviens pas ennemi. Car une mauvaise réputation héritera la honte et l'opprobre, comme il en va pour le pécheur à la langue double. 02 Ne te laisse pas emporter par ta passion, de peur de finir dépecé comme un bœuf; 03 tu dévorerais ton propre feuillage, tu perdrais tes fruits et tu te retrouverais comme du bois sec. 04 Une passion mauvaise perd celui qui la possède et fait de lui la risée de ses ennemis. 05 La parole agréable attire de nombreux amis, le langage aimable attire de nombreuses gentillesses. 06 De bonnes relations, tu peux en avoir avec beaucoup de monde; mais des conseillers ? n'en choisis qu'un seul entre mille! 07 Si tu veux acquérir un ami, acquiers-le en le mettant à l'épreuve; n'aie pas trop vite confiance en lui. 08 Il y a celui qui est ton ami quand cela lui convient, mais qui ne reste pas avec toi au jour de ta détresse. 09 Il y a celui qui d'ami se transforme en ennemi, et qui va divulguer, pour ta confusion, ce qui l'oppose à toi. 10 Il y a celui qui est ton ami pour partager tes repas, mais qui ne reste pas avec toi au jour de ta détresse. 11 Quand tout va bien pour toi, il est comme un autre toi-même et commande avec assurance à tes domestiques; 12 mais si tu deviens pauvre, il est contre toi, et il se cache pour t'éviter. 13 Tes ennemis, tiens-les à distance; avec tes amis, sois sur tes gardes. 14 Un ami fidèle, c'est un refuge assuré, celui qui le trouve a trouvé un trésor. 15 Un ami fidèle n'a pas de prix, sa valeur est inestimable.
|Les faux amis sont plus dangereux que les ennemis déclarés.|
Lenin: Communist morality is that which serves this struggle and unites the working people against all exploitation, against all petty private property; for petty property puts into the hands of one person that which has been created by the labour of the whole of society. In our country the land is common property. But suppose I take a piece of this common property and grow on it twice as much grain as I need, and profiteer on the surplus? Suppose I argue that the more starving people there are, the more they will pay? Would I then be behaving like a Communist? No, I would be behaving like an exploiter, like a proprietor. That must be combated. If that is allowed to go on, things will revert to the rule of the capitalists, to the rule of the bourgeoisie, as has more than once happened in previous revolutions. To prevent the restoration of the rule of the capitalists and the bourgeoisie, we must not allow profiteering; we must not allow individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest; the working people must unite with the proletariat and form a communist society. This is the principal feature of the fundamental task of the League and the organisation of the communist youth. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6215

Lenin: The old society was based on the principle: rob or be robbed; work for others or make others work for you; be a slave-owner or a slave. Naturally, people brought up in such a society assimilate with their mother's milk, one might say, the psychology, the habit, the concept which says: you are either a slave-owner or a slave, or else, a small owner, a petty employee, a petty official, or an intellectual -- in short, a man who is concerned only with himself, and does not care a rap for anybody else. If I work this plot of land, I do not care a rap for anybody else; if others starve, all the better, I shall get the more for my grain. If I have a job as a doctor, engineer, teacher, or clerk, I do not care a rap for anybody else. If I toady to and please the powers that be, I may be able to keep my job, and even get on in life and become a bourgeois. A Communist cannot harbour such a psychology and such sentiments. When the workers and peasants proved that they were able, by their own efforts, to defend themselves and create a new society -- that was the beginning of the new and communist education, education in the struggle against the exploiters, education in alliance with the proletariat against the self-seekers and petty proprietors, against the psychology and habits which say: I seek my own profit and don't care a rap for anything else. That is the reply to the question of how the young and rising generation should learn communism. It can learn communism only by linking up every step in its studies, training and education with the continuous struggle the proletarians and the working people are waging against the old society of exploiters. When people tell us about morality, we say: to a Communist all morality lies in this united discipline and conscious mass struggle against the exploiters. We do not believe in an eternal morality, and we-expose the falseness of all the fables about morality. Morality serves the purpose of helping human society rise to a higher level and rid itself of the exploitation of labour. To achieve this we need that generation of young people who began to reach political maturity in the midst of a disciplined and desperate struggle against the bourgeoisie. In this struggle that generation is training genuine Communists; it must subordinate to this struggle, and link up with it, each step in its studies, education and training. The education of the communist youth must consist, not in giving them suave talks and moral precepts. This is not what education consists in. When people have seen the way in which their fathers and mothers lived under the yoke of the landowners and capitalists; when they have themselves experienced the sufferings of those who began the struggle against the exploiters; when they have seen the sacrifices made to keep what has been won, and seen what deadly enemies the landowners and capitalists are -- they are taught by these conditions to become Communists. Communist morality is based on the struggle for the consolidation and completion of communism. That is also the basis of communist training, education, and teaching. That is the reply to the question of how communism should be learnt. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6216

Fidel Castro: This position of the Trotskyists is the same which all newspapers and publicity agencies of Yankee imperialism adopted in relation to the cause of Comrade Ernesto Guevara. All the imperialist press of the United States, its news agencies, the Cuban counter-revolutionaries' press, the bourgeois press throughout the continent and the rest of the world - in other words, this campaign of slanders and intrigues against revolutionary Cuba in connection with the case of Comrade Guevara - coincided with precision with all imperialist bourgeois sectors, all the slanderers and all the conspirators against the Cuban revolution, for there is no doubt that only reaction and imperialism is interested in discrediting the Cuban revolution and in destroying the confidence of the revolutionary movements in the Cuban revolution, in destroying the confidence of the Latin American peoples in the Cuban revolution, in destroying their faith. Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.
Fidel Castro: Yon Sosa led the movement of a group of armed officers in the crushing of whom the mercenaries who later invaded Playa Girón participated. Through a businessman who took charge of the movement's political aspects, the Fourth International fixed it up so that that leader, who was ignorant of the profound problems of politics and of the history of revolutionary thought, would permit that agents of Trotskyism, about whom we do not have the slightest doubt that he is an agent of imperialism, to publish a newspaper which copies outright the program of the Fourth International. By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.

George Friedman: The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us.

George Friedman: The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us.

Lenin: Prompted by fear of revolution, the old state power, which is independent of the people and is a power over the people, promises the people that it will ensure their freedom. But its promises remain unfulfilled; they cannot be fulfilled.

Lenin: There are moments in history when a desperate struggle of the masses, even for a hopeless cause, is essential for the further schooling of these masses and their training for the next struggle.

Edward Snowden: There is nothing more grotesque than a media pushing for war.
Lenin: Practice is higher than (theoretical) knowledge, for it has not only the dignity of universality, but also of immediate actuality.
Stalin: Only in the highest phase of communism will people, working in accordance with their capacity, receive recompense therefor in accordance with their needs: "From each according to his capacity, to each according to his needs."
Stalin: All that Marxism declares is that until classes have been completely abolished, and until work has been transformed from being a means of maintaining existence, into a prime necessity of life, into voluntary labour performed for the benefit of society, people will continue to be paid for their labour in accordance with the amount of labour performed.
Stalin: The October Revolution is neither the continuation nor the culmination of the Great French Revolution. The purpose of the French Revolution was to put an end to feudalism and establish capitalism. The aim of the October Revolution is to put an end to capitalism and to establish socialism.
Lenin: We shall not achieve socialism without a struggle. But we are ready to fight, we have started it and we shall finish it with the aid of the apparatus called the Soviets.
Gilbert Scott-Heron: The first revolution is when you change your mind.
Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya: Solidarity among the male and female workers, a general cause, general goals, a general path to that goal - that is the solution to the "woman" question in the working-class environment.
Lenin: No idea could be more erroneous or harmful than to separate foreign from home policy.

Lenin: There is a good Latin proverb which says: “It is natural for all men to err; but only a fool persists in his error.
Lenin: A Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Kim Il Sung: It can be said that the life of a revolutionary begins by going among the masses and that it is over when he parts from them.
Lenin: Deafened by liberal catch-phrases, people in our country are apt to overlook the actual class stand of the liberal party’s real bosses.
Lenin: The proletariat’s struggle against the bourgeoisie, which finds expression in a variety of forms ever richer in content, inevitably becomes a political struggle directed towards the conquest of political power by the proletariat (“the dictatorship of the proletariat”).
Frantz Fanon: Colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties. It is violence in its natural state, and it will only yield when confronted with greater violence. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6224

Fidel Castro: This position of the Trotskyists is the same which all newspapers and publicity agencies of Yankee imperialism adopted in relation to the cause of Comrade Ernesto Guevara. All the imperialist press of the United States, its news agencies, the Cuban counter-revolutionaries' press, the bourgeois press throughout the continent and the rest of the world - in other words, this campaign of slanders and intrigues against revolutionary Cuba in connection with the case of Comrade Guevara - coincided with precision with all imperialist bourgeois sectors, all the slanderers and all the conspirators against the Cuban revolution, for there is no doubt that only reaction and imperialism is interested in discrediting the Cuban revolution and in destroying the confidence of the revolutionary movements in the Cuban revolution, in destroying the confidence of the Latin American peoples in the Cuban revolution, in destroying their faith. Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.
Fidel Castro: Yon Sosa led the movement of a group of armed officers in the crushing of whom the mercenaries who later invaded Playa Girón participated. Through a businessman who took charge of the movement's political aspects, the Fourth International fixed it up so that that leader, who was ignorant of the profound problems of politics and of the history of revolutionary thought, would permit that agents of Trotskyism, about whom we do not have the slightest doubt that he is an agent of imperialism, to publish a newspaper which copies outright the program of the Fourth International. By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.

Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6227

Lenin: There is a good Latin proverb which says: “It is natural for all men to err; but only a fool persists in his error.
Lenin: A Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Kim Il Sung: It can be said that the life of a revolutionary begins by going among the masses and that it is over when he parts from them.
Lenin: Deafened by liberal catch-phrases, people in our country are apt to overlook the actual class stand of the liberal party’s real bosses.
Lenin: The proletariat’s struggle against the bourgeoisie, which finds expression in a variety of forms ever richer in content, inevitably becomes a political struggle directed towards the conquest of political power by the proletariat (“the dictatorship of the proletariat”).
Combien de temps a mis la nature pour produire la quantité de pétrole que l'on consomme chaque jour?
Si l'on compare le temps de formation des énergies fossiles (env. 200 millions d'années) à une durée d'une semaine, les hommes commencent à utiliser les énergies fossiles le dimanche à moins d'une seconde de minuit. A minuit, les énergies fossiles sont épuisées. Il y a 7*24*3600 secondes dans une semaine. Cela veut dire qu'il faut 604800 fois plus de temps à la nature pour produire le pétrole que l'homme pour le consommer.
De ce fait, une journée de consommation revient à 604800/365=1657 années de production naturelle. Il faut donc 1657 ans à la nature pour produire le pétrole consommé en une seule journée!
Est-il possible de produire autant de pétrole artificiellement que l'on consomme?
La matière organique, dont est issue le pétrole, vient d'êtres vivants (plancton, végétaux, animaux, etc.) morts. On estime que 0,1% de cette matière morte sert de base à la formation du pétrole.
Imaginons un procédé qui récupère 100% de cette matière organique venant du monde entier, et supposons que l'on puisse accélérer le temps de formation du pétrole. Comme nous consommons 604800 plus vite le pétrole naturel qu'il ne faut à la nature pour le produire, il faudrait quand même 604800/1000=605 fois plus de matière organique pour rendre le pétrole renouvelable. Je ne sais pas où nous pourrions trouver autant de matière organique sur Terre sans affamer le monde entier! C'est donc impossible.
Quand vous avez décidé de partir faire une petite promenade, sur quoi votre esprit s'est-il focalisé? La réponse à cette question doit vous permettre de mesurer le degré d'élargissement de votre conscience.
On parle beaucoup de l'intelligence, mais peu du développement de la conscience, ce qui est dramatique car de cet élargissement dépend le degré de bonté dont vous êtes capable. Or, la bonté est le ciment de l'univers. Si l'être humain continue à pratiquer plus la prédation que la bonté, alors il n'a pas d'avenir et ses sociétés resteront toxiques pour tous.
Combien de fois ai-je croisé des personnes qui ne voient pas grand chose autour d'elles? Des milliers, sans aucun doute. Cela s'allie souvent avec un besoin de vitesse: puisqu'il n'y a rien d'intéressant ici, allons vite à un autre endroit. Ainsi, une multitude de personnes prennent leur voiture et circulent à des vitesses folles. Elles ne voient que le bitume et les autres conducteurs n'étant que dans leur paysage.
Qui a vu la petite plante qui pousse sur le bitume d'un trottoir? Qui a vu une pie se poser sur une branche et regarder si tout est en ordre entre ses pattes? Qui s'est ému de voir un hérisson mort au bord d'une route? Qui a observé les disputes des pigeons ramiers? Peu de personnes en vérité, car que voit la majorité des gens dans leur journée si ce n'est un écran de smartphone ou d'un téléviseur?
Moins vous voyez de choses et plus votre conscience est étriquée. Une personne qui a une conscience étriquée est souvent une personne à la sensibilité peu développée. Cette petite conscience est un problème pour le salut de l'humanité, car sachez que le respect est d'accorder une place dans sa conscience à l'autre. C'est le début de l'amour. Or, l'amour est l'allié puissant de la vie et du bonheur. Si le respect de l'autre est absent, alors l'autre n'est plus qu'une chose sur laquelle on peut éventuellement exercer une prédation si l'on peut obtenir de lui quelque chose qui offre un plaisir.
La prédation détruit et la bonté construit. Une personne qui a une conscience développée va comprendre qu'elle est liée à la Création qu'elle prend plaisir à admirer et protéger. Elle ressent la vie dans tous les êtres qu'elle voit. Elle ressent la douleur et la joie de l'autre car sa vie ne lui est pas indifférente. Sa conscience élargie lui permet d'aimer selon l'esprit et pas seulement selon la chair. Celui qui ne connaît que l'amour selon la chair sera rempli de passions, alors que celui qui aime selon l'esprit sera rempli d'envies de contemplassions. Le passionné va couper des fleurs pour les avoir chez lui. Le contemplatif se contentera de les admirer dans la nature. Le passionné souffrira de l'absence de l'objet de sa passion. Le contemplatif trouvera refuge dans tout ce qui peut être contemplé. Le passionné prend, le contemplatif loue. La passion est un fléau, la contemplation est une bénédiction.
Pour souffrir avec l'autre, il faut avoir une conscience élargie. Pour respecter la règle d'or, il faut avoir une conscience élargie. Pour aimer, comme Jésus nous l'a demandé, il faut aussi avoir une conscience élargie. L'élargissement de la conscience est l'étape indispensable pour atteindre une grande sagesse et devenir l'ami de Dieu. Celui qui a une conscience élargie est comme un enfant qui veut tout comprendre du monde, et quel être est plus innocent qu'un enfant? Celui qui a une conscience élargie pleure quand on fait du mal à des êtres innocents, que ce soit des êtres humains, des animaux ou des plantes. Il a un grand respect pour tout ce qui est vivant. Il admire la Création de Dieu et il y puise une chaleur et une force qui réchauffe son cœur et fortifie son âme.
«Laissez les enfants, ne les empêchez pas de venir à moi, car le royaume des Cieux est à ceux qui leur ressemblent.» Mt 19,14
« Amen, je vous le dis: si vous ne changez pas pour devenir comme les enfants, vous n’entrerez pas dans le royaume des Cieux.» Mt 18,3
«Amen, je vous le dis: celui qui n’accueille pas le royaume de Dieu à la manière d’un enfant n’y entrera pas.» Lc 18,17
Les géologues établissent un lien entre le changement climatique rapide survenu il y a 50 millions d'années et l'augmentation des niveaux de CO2.
À la fin du paléocène et au début de l'éocène, il y a 59 à 51 millions d'années, la Terre a connu des périodes de réchauffement spectaculaires, à la fois des périodes graduelles s'étendant sur des millions d'années et des événements de réchauffement soudains connus sous le nom d'hyperthermies.
Les émissions massives de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) et d'autres gaz à effet de serre ont été à l'origine de ce réchauffement planétaire, mais d'autres facteurs, tels que l'activité tectonique, pourraient également avoir joué un rôle.
De nouvelles recherches menées par des géoscientifiques de l'université de l'Utah associent les températures de surface de la mer aux niveaux de CO2 atmosphérique au cours de cette période, montrant que les deux étaient étroitement liés. Les résultats fournissent également des études de cas pour tester les mécanismes de rétroaction du cycle du carbone et les sensibilités essentielles pour prédire le changement climatique anthropique, alors que nous continuons à déverser des gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère à une échelle sans précédent dans l'histoire de la planète.
«La principale raison pour laquelle nous nous intéressons à ces événements mondiaux de libération de carbone est qu'ils peuvent fournir des analogues pour les changements futurs», a déclaré l'auteur principal, Dustin Harper, chercheur postdoctoral au département de géologie et de géophysique. «Nous n'avons pas vraiment d'événement analogue parfait avec les mêmes conditions de base et le même taux de libération de carbone.»
Mais l'étude publiée lundi dans les Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggère que les émissions au cours de deux anciens «maxima thermiques» sont suffisamment similaires au changement climatique anthropique actuel pour aider les scientifiques à en prévoir les conséquences.
L'équipe de recherche a analysé des fossiles microscopiques - récupérés dans des carottes de forage prélevées sur un plateau sous-marin du Pacifique - afin de caractériser la chimie des océans de surface à l'époque où ces créatures à coquille étaient en vie. À l'aide d'un modèle statistique sophistiqué, ils ont reconstitué les températures de surface des océans et les niveaux de CO2 atmosphérique sur une période de 6 millions d'années couvrant deux hyperthermies, le maximum thermique du Paléocène-Éocène (PETM), il y a 56 millions d'années, et le maximum thermique de l'Éocène 2 (ETM-2), il y a 54 millions d'années.
Les résultats indiquent que l'augmentation des niveaux de CO2 dans l'atmosphère s'est accompagnée d'une hausse des températures mondiales.
«Notre planète et notre atmosphère sont influencées de multiples façons par les ajouts de CO2, mais dans chaque cas, quelle que soit la source de CO2, nous constatons des effets similaires sur le système climatique», a déclaré Gabriel Bowen, professeur de géologie et de géophysique à l'université de New York et coauteur de l'étude.
«Nous nous sommes intéressés à la sensibilité du système climatique à ces changements de CO2. Ce que nous voyons dans cette étude, c'est qu'il y a une certaine variation, peut-être une sensibilité un peu plus faible, un réchauffement plus faible associé à une quantité donnée de changement de CO2 lorsque nous examinons ces changements à très long terme. Mais dans l'ensemble, nous observons une gamme commune de sensibilités climatiques».
Aujourd'hui, les activités humaines associées aux combustibles fossiles libèrent du carbone 4 à 10 fois plus rapidement que lors de ces anciens événements hyperthermiques. Toutefois, la quantité totale de carbone libérée au cours de ces événements anciens est similaire à la fourchette prévue pour les émissions humaines, ce qui pourrait donner aux chercheurs un aperçu de ce qui nous attend, nous et les générations futures.
Les scientifiques doivent d'abord déterminer ce qui est arrivé au climat et aux océans pendant ces épisodes de réchauffement planétaire, il y a plus de 50 millions d'années. «Ces événements pourraient représenter une étude de cas de type scénario moyen ou pire», a déclaré M. Harper. «Nous pouvons les étudier pour répondre à la question suivante: quel est le changement environnemental qui se produit en raison de cette libération de carbone?»
La Terre était très chaude pendant le PETM. Aucune calotte glaciaire ne recouvrait les pôles et la température des océans atteignait les 32°C.
Pour déterminer les niveaux de CO2 dans les océans, les chercheurs se sont tournés vers les restes fossilisés de foraminifères, un organisme unicellulaire à coquille qui s'apparente au plancton. L'équipe de recherche a basé son étude sur des carottes extraites précédemment par le Programme international de découverte des océans à deux endroits dans le Pacifique.
Les coquilles de foram accumulent de petites quantités de bore, dont les isotopes sont un indicateur des concentrations de CO2 dans l'océan à l'époque où les coquilles se sont formées, selon M. Harper.
«Nous avons mesuré la chimie du bore dans les coquilles et nous sommes en mesure de traduire ces valeurs en utilisant des observations modernes sur les conditions passées de l'eau de mer. Nous pouvons obtenir le CO2 de l'eau de mer et le traduire en CO2 atmosphérique», a déclaré M. Harper. «L'objectif de l'intervalle d'étude ciblé était d'établir de nouveaux relevés de CO2 et de température pour le PETM et l'ETM-2, qui représentent deux des meilleurs analogues en termes de changement moderne, et de fournir une évaluation de fond à plus long terme du système climatique afin de mieux contextualiser ces événements.»
Les carottes étudiées par Harper ont été extraites de Shatsky Rise dans le Pacifique Nord subtropical, un endroit idéal pour récupérer des sédiments du fond de l'océan qui reflètent les conditions d'un passé ancien.
Les coquilles de carbonate se dissolvent lorsqu'elles se déposent dans les profondeurs de l'océan. Les scientifiques doivent donc se tourner vers des plateaux sous-marins comme celui de Shatsky Rise, où la profondeur de l'eau est relativement faible. Pendant que leurs habitants vivaient il y a des millions d'années, les coquilles de foraminifères enregistraient les conditions à la surface de la mer.
«Ils meurent ensuite et tombent au fond de la mer, où ils se déposent à environ deux kilomètres de profondeur », explique M. Harper. «Nous sommes en mesure de récupérer la séquence complète des fossiles morts. À ces endroits, au milieu de l'océan, il n'y a pas vraiment d'apport de sédiments en provenance des continents, et ce sont donc principalement ces fossiles qui sont déposés, et c'est tout. C'est une très bonne archive pour ce que nous voulons faire.»

Lenin: Miraculous prophecy is a fairy-tale. But scientific prophecy is a fact.
Noam Chomsky: See, people with power understand exactly one thing: violence.
George Bernard Shaw: Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Henry Kissinger: Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.
Fidel Castro: This position of the Trotskyists is the same which all newspapers and publicity agencies of Yankee imperialism adopted in relation to the cause of Comrade Ernesto Guevara. All the imperialist press of the United States, its news agencies, the Cuban counter-revolutionaries' press, the bourgeois press throughout the continent and the rest of the world - in other words, this campaign of slanders and intrigues against revolutionary Cuba in connection with the case of Comrade Guevara - coincided with precision with all imperialist bourgeois sectors, all the slanderers and all the conspirators against the Cuban revolution, for there is no doubt that only reaction and imperialism is interested in discrediting the Cuban revolution and in destroying the confidence of the revolutionary movements in the Cuban revolution, in destroying the confidence of the Latin American peoples in the Cuban revolution, in destroying their faith. Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.
Fidel Castro: Yon Sosa led the movement of a group of armed officers in the crushing of whom the mercenaries who later invaded Playa Girón participated. Through a businessman who took charge of the movement's political aspects, the Fourth International fixed it up so that that leader, who was ignorant of the profound problems of politics and of the history of revolutionary thought, would permit that agents of Trotskyism, about whom we do not have the slightest doubt that he is an agent of imperialism, to publish a newspaper which copies outright the program of the Fourth International. By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.

Lenin: Prompted by fear of revolution, the old state power, which is independent of the people and is a power over the people, promises the people that it will ensure their freedom. But its promises remain unfulfilled; they cannot be fulfilled.
James Connolly: If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic, your efforts would be in vain.

Ne donnez pas du riz ou du pain aux pigeons, ce n'est pas bon pour eux. Le riz gonfle dans leur estomac lors de la digestion ce qui leur provoque de vives douleurs. C'est pire avec le pain: les oiseaux ne digèrent pas la levure ou le sel, le gluten est mauvais pour leur foie et ils peuvent même développer une maladie nommée «le syndrome de l'aile d'ange» qui frappe les canards ou les oies que nous nourrissons avec du pain au bord des étangs.
Extrait de "Éloge de la sincérité" de Montesquieu (1717):
Le vice serait réduit à cette triste et déplorable condition où gémit la vertu, et il faudrait avoir autant de force et de courage pour être méchant, qu'il en faut, dans ce siècle corrompu, pour être homme de bien. Quand la sincérité ne nous guérirait que de l'orgueil, ce serait une grande vertu qui nous guérirait du plus grand de tous les vices. Il n'y a que trop de Narcisses dans le monde, de ces gens amoureux d'eux-mêmes. Ils sont perdus s'ils trouvent dans leurs amis de la complaisance. Prévenus de leur mérite, remplis d'une idée qui leur est chère, ils passent leur vie à s'admirer. Que faudrait-il pour les guérir d'une folie qui semble incurable? Il ne faudrait que les faire apercevoir du petit nombre de leurs rivaux; que leur faire sentir leurs faibles; que mettre leurs vices dans le point de vue qu'il faut pour les faire voir; que se joindre à eux contre eux-mêmes, et leur parler dans la simplicité de la vérité.

Citation déformée venant d'un tract clandestin du Parti Communiste Français intitulé "Révolution et contre-révolution au 20e siècle" en réponse à "Or et Sang", conférence donnée par Alfred Rosenberg le 28 novembre 1940 à la Chambre des députés de Paris en règlement de comptes des idées de 1789 qui «récupère» la révolte populaire de la fin du XVIIIe siècle pour présenter le national-socialisme comme une authentique révolution nationale. L'auteur de ce tract de 1940 est Georges Politzer.
Cette citation n'est pas extraite de "La Philosophie et les mythes", texte publié dans le n°1 de "La Pensée" en 1939, contrairement à ce qu'affirme le Café Littéraire.
Extrait du tract "Révolution et contre-révolution au 20e siècle" écrit par Georges Politzer (1940):
La Révolution française est l'honneur historique du peuple de France. Le culte du passé glorieux qu'elle représente acquiert un contenu et un sens nouveau à l'heure où le capitalisme français livre la nation à l'oppression d'un impérialisme étranger. Le discours de M. Rosenberg appelait donc une réponse. Les marxistes français, c'est-à-dire les communistes, la lui apportent. Ce fait est à la fois naturel et significatif. La lutte active contre toute cette colonisation spirituelle, dont le voyage de M. Rosenberg est le symbole, est inséparable de la lutte pour la liberté et l'indépendance de la France. Le Parti Communiste Français a la fierté d'être à l'avant-garde de cette lutte. Le fait que ce sont les communistes français, et eux seuls, qui répondent à M. Rosenberg, montre, en même temps, combien il est vrai que la défaite a marqué aussi l'effondrement idéologique de tous les autres partis. M. Rosenberg est venu à Paris pour un «règlement de comptes» avec les idées de 1789.

Citation un peu déformée extraite de "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" de Friedrich Nietzsche (1883) , Première partie "La vieille et la jeune femme".
Ce philosophe n'avait pas la lumière intérieure (et il a déprimé plus d'un de ses lecteurs).
Cette citation n'apporte rien de nouveau dans la connaissance de l'être humain (et il a fait des généralités inacceptables!).
Extrait de "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" de Friedrich Nietzsche (1883) , Première partie "La vieille et la jeune femme":
«Maintes fois déjà Zarathoustra a parlé, même à nous autres femmes, mais jamais il ne nous a parlé de la femme.» Je lui ai répondu: «Il ne faut parler de la femme qu'aux hommes.» «À moi aussi tu peux parler de la femme, dit-elle; je suis assez vieille pour oublier aussitôt tout ce que tu m'auras dit.» Et je condescendis aux désirs de la vieille femme et je lui dis: Chez la femme tout est une énigme: mais il y a un mot à cet énigme: ce mot est grossesse. L'homme est pour la femme un moyen: le but est toujours l'enfant. Mais qu'est la femme pour l'homme? L'homme véritable veut deux choses: le danger et le jeu. C'est pourquoi il veut la femme, le jouet le plus dangereux. L'homme doit être élevé pour la guerre, et la femme pour le délassement du guerrier: tout le reste est folie. Le guerrier n'aime les fruits trop doux. C'est pourquoi il aime la femme; une saveur amère reste même à la femme la plus douce. Mieux que l'homme, la femme comprend les enfants, mais l'homme est plus enfant que la femme. Dans tout homme véritable se cache un enfant: un enfant qui veut jouer. Allons, femmes, découvrez-moi l'enfant dans l'homme! Que la femme soit un jouet, pur et menu, pareil au diamant, rayonnant des vertus d'un monde qui n'est pas encore!

By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.
Martin Luther King, Jr.: So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness. It has brought about a system that takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord: It is the beginning of the end.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord: Financiers flourish only when nations decline.
George Friedman: The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.
Lenin: Prompted by fear of revolution, the old state power, which is independent of the people and is a power over the people, promises the people that it will ensure their freedom. But its promises remain unfulfilled; they cannot be fulfilled.
James Connolly: If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic, your efforts would be in vain.
Lenin: There are moments in history when a desperate struggle of the masses, even for a hopeless cause, is essential for the further schooling of these masses and their training for the next struggle.
Kim Il Sung: Our ideal is to build a society where everyone is well fed, well clothed, and lives a long life, a society where everybody is progressive and works devotedly, a society where all people live united in harmony as one big family.
Michael Parenti: To make the world safe for those who own it, politically active elements of the owning class have created a national security state that expends billions of dollars and enlists the efforts of vast numbers of people.
Edward Snowden: There is nothing more grotesque than a media pushing for war.
Lenin: Practice is higher than (theoretical) knowledge, for it has not only the dignity of universality, but also of immediate actuality.
Stalin: Only in the highest phase of communism will people, working in accordance with their capacity, receive recompense therefor in accordance with their needs: "From each according to his capacity, to each according to his needs."
Stalin: All that Marxism declares is that until classes have been completely abolished, and until work has been transformed from being a means of maintaining existence, into a prime necessity of life, into voluntary labour performed for the benefit of society, people will continue to be paid for their labour in accordance with the amount of labour performed.
Stalin: The October Revolution is neither the continuation nor the culmination of the Great French Revolution. The purpose of the French Revolution was to put an end to feudalism and establish capitalism. The aim of the October Revolution is to put an end to capitalism and to establish socialism.
Lenin: We shall not achieve socialism without a struggle. But we are ready to fight, we have started it and we shall finish it with the aid of the apparatus called the Soviets.
Gilbert Scott-Heron: The first revolution is when you change your mind.
Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya: Solidarity among the male and female workers, a general cause, general goals, a general path to that goal - that is the solution to the "woman" question in the working-class environment.
Lenin: No idea could be more erroneous or harmful than to separate foreign from home policy.
Kim Jong-il: Introducing individualism into socialism, which is based entirely on collectivism, is tantamount to taking poison.
Langston Hughes: Put one more S in the U.S.A. To make it Soviet.
Lenin: There is a good Latin proverb which says: “It is natural for all men to err; but only a fool persists in his error.
Lenin: A Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Kim Il Sung: It can be said that the life of a revolutionary begins by going among the masses and that it is over when he parts from them.
Lenin: Deafened by liberal catch-phrases, people in our country are apt to overlook the actual class stand of the liberal party’s real bosses.
Lenin: The proletariat’s struggle against the bourgeoisie, which finds expression in a variety of forms ever richer in content, inevitably becomes a political struggle directed towards the conquest of political power by the proletariat (“the dictatorship of the proletariat”).
Lenin: Miraculous prophecy is a fairy-tale. But scientific prophecy is a fact.
Noam Chomsky: See, people with power understand exactly one thing: violence.
George Bernard Shaw: Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Henry Kissinger: Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.
Fidel Castro: This position of the Trotskyists is the same which all newspapers and publicity agencies of Yankee imperialism adopted in relation to the cause of Comrade Ernesto Guevara. All the imperialist press of the United States, its news agencies, the Cuban counter-revolutionaries' press, the bourgeois press throughout the continent and the rest of the world - in other words, this campaign of slanders and intrigues against revolutionary Cuba in connection with the case of Comrade Guevara - coincided with precision with all imperialist bourgeois sectors, all the slanderers and all the conspirators against the Cuban revolution, for there is no doubt that only reaction and imperialism is interested in discrediting the Cuban revolution and in destroying the confidence of the revolutionary movements in the Cuban revolution, in destroying the confidence of the Latin American peoples in the Cuban revolution, in destroying their faith. Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.

Karl Marx: The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements. They wish for a bourgeoisie without a proletariat. The bourgeoisie naturally conceives the world in which it is supreme to be the best; and bourgeois Socialism develops this comfortable conception into various more or less complete systems. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6233
